Union, with the coat of arms of the Slovak Republic incorporated in the
foreground. On the right-hand side of the inner part of the coin, in two
lines, is the date of the Slovak Republic's accession to the European
Union, ‘1.5.2004’, and immediately below it the year ‘2014’. Inscribed
along the bottom edge of the inner part is the name of the issuing
country, ‘SLOVENSKO’, while in a semi-circle along the upper edge is the

two dies), and to the lower right are the stylised letters ‘MP’, the
initials of the designer, Mária Poldaufová. The coin’s outer ring bears
the 12 stars of the European Union.
